I am 32 weeks pregnant and am slightly worried as for the past 2 weeks i have had a big increase in (sorry tmi!) thicker, mucusy type discharge is this normal??
It's not the kind that would be described if it was an infection, as it is white/clear and non smelling..

Has anyone experienced this?

Thanks for you help!

Very very normal! Only worry if it smells or contains blood. Give your midwife a quick call, she'll be able to put your mind at rest. Smile

Oh, should probably add I had dc3 4 months ago and had the same thing late in my pregnancy, I called my midwife who said it was normal, so that's how I know.

I am 35 weeks and same thing for the past two weeks. I had a swab and urine test and all is fine.

It can sometimes be an infection. I went to hospital last week with clear discharge and other problems thinking something was going on. I saw the consultant and he said I had an infection?! I had had no symptoms accpet this discharge that was clear or white did not smell not irritation down there wierd. The consultant gave me a tablet to stick up there nice I thought! I did it the next day but Im sure it dropped out into the toilet when I went for a wee later on?! I always thought that discharge at this stage was ok as well? I dont know what to say after last week?! Oh Im 33 weeks. I also did microbiology and tested viginal swabs. So never TMI for me! Grin

I have the same thing - it's totally normal, although scary when you have as much as me! I found this information about it and it put my mind at ease. Apparently it can be a sign of a particularly healthy pregnancy!
